简介:

南欧/北非音乐

“最迷人的世界音乐专辑之一！塔里法广播站并不真的是一个实体的广播站，但它放送来自伊伯利亚半岛的乐音，实际上是现代风格和传统古韵杂交而生的独特有机体。” --F
Radio Tarifa乐团的名字来源自西班牙半岛最南端的叫Tarifa的小镇，在那里人们似乎都可以听到来自北非，穿越海峡而来的，早晨人们祷告的声音。而 Radio Tarifa的音乐正是在犹太和摩尔人的中古精神影响下的，以魔幻般的旋律把远古伊比利亚的情感和敲打的节拍连接在一起。他们1993发行第一张专辑Rumba Argelina，把非洲旋律和西班牙独特的Flamenco融合在一起，给听众留下了深刻的印象
“ This, the third disc from Spain's leading roots ensemble, features a mixture of old and new. It continues to offer up the group's time-machine stew of delectable bits and pieces of Spanish musical history. It still uses an extraordinary collection of instruments, modern and medieval, Spanish and Moslem. What's new is the album's foray into Japanese music, "Gujo Bushi," and the occasional use of electric guitar. Though it's harder to pin down, the group seems to have dug deeper into music of the modern Spanish countryside. This new -- or newly deepened -- exploration of folk music results in two of the album's most intriguing tunes: First is "Ramo Verde," a Castillian folk song with great atmosphere, featuring a woman vocalist for the first time in the group's history. Second is the title track, which is a primitive tango and which most lamentably ends just when it's getting going. The brevity of the songs is a serious concern on "Cruzando el Rio": The 11 tracks total just 36 minutes, allowing too little time for development and no time for the epic grandeur of "Nu Alrest" off of the group's first album, Rumba Argelina. Still, this group never fails to be interesting. ~ Kurt Keefner, All Music Guide ”
Radio Tarifa is one the outstanding world music groups of the turn of their time. Their name derives from the town of Tarifa, which is the part of Spain nearest to Morocco. The group's mixture of Spanish and Arabic music is not itself new (see Juan Pena Lebrijano. for example). What is new is that instead of simply fusing musical styles as they currently exist, Radio Tarifa goes back in time to the common past of those styles, back to before 1492 when the Moors and Jews were exiled from Spain, and imagines a shared style that might have evolved had history been different, including not just elements of Spanish and Arabic music but also other musics of the Mediterranean, of the Middle Ages, of the Caribbean. This invented style is not only fascinating in its own right, but sheds light upon the real styles of Spain, most notably flamenco. Until the success of their first album Rumba Argelina, Radio Tarifa was not a full-fledged performing band, but a nucleus of three musicians who brought other performers into the studio as needed. This nucleus consists of Spaniards Fain Sanchez Duenas (percussion and other instruments) and Benjamin Escoriza (vocals) and Frenchman Vincent Molino - sometimes listed as Vincent Molino Cook - (winds). Arranger Duenas might fairly be described as the leader and theoretician of the group. He and Molino founded an early music group, playing music from the late Middle Ages and Renaissance) called Ars Antiqua Musicalis, although this group was never commercially successful. Later Duenas met Benjamin Escoriza, a troubadour flamenco singer raised by Gypsies. The last piece was in place. Rumba Argelina was a work of love and vision and experimental daring recorded in 1993, released in Europe by World Circuit Records in 1996 and finally landing on American shores in 1997 via a collaboration of World Circuit and Nonesuch. The critical and popular success of Rumba Argelina made it possible for Radio Tarifa to put together a full-fledged touring band, which has crossed both Europe and the United States, as well as enabling a follow-up album Temporal, which means "Storm." This second album, from 1997, moves in the direction of the roots of flamenco and is less pan-Mediterranean than its predecessor and was also a success. Cruzando el Rio appeared in spring 2001.

Review -

Fusion is an overworked word, covering a multitude of sins, but in Cruzando El Rio it's used to stunning effect. Tarifa is a windswept town at the southernmost tip of the Iberian peninsula: it's a point where Iberian and Arabic civilisations have always met. But Radio Tarifa--the station's in the mind, not in physical reality--forges links in the fourth dimension as well, back to the songs of medieval Spain and across to those of medieval Japan. The results are invigoratingly gamey, thanks to the timbre of their voices and the instrumental textures they create. The first track melds Renaissance oboes, an electric guitar and a Moroccan banjo; the second blends these oboes with the ney flute and the Egyptian double clarinet; the third tricks out a medieval Muslim-Spanish piece with some distinctly jazzy riffs. The male singers swing between raunchiness and graceful tremulousness while the female singer's voice has a gentle balladeering strength. The pure percussion number feels like a pleasurable itch that gets under the skin.

在西班牙Flamenco遇上北非音乐
从西班牙中古时期慵懒的旋律到热烈响亮的Flamenco敲打再行进到阿拉伯旖旎的节奏，这就是Radio Tarifa。 Radio Tarifa，乐团的名字来源自西班牙半岛最南端的叫Tarifa的小镇，在那里人们似乎都可以听到来自北非，穿越海峡而来的，早晨人们祷告的声音。而 Radio Tarifa的音乐正是在犹太和摩尔人的中古精神影响下的，以魔幻般的旋律把远古伊比利亚的情感和敲打的节拍连接在一起。

他们1993发行第一张专辑“Rumba Argelina”，把非洲旋律和西班牙独特的Flamenco融合在一起，给听众留下了深刻的印象，随后他们在欧洲各地巡回演出，大获成功。此后的音乐生涯里乐团多次在BBC 第三电台获得世界音乐奖多项提名。

Radio Tarifa由三个特立独行的音乐家在80年代末组建，Vincent Molino负责管乐器的演奏，Benjamin Escoriz负责歌词和主唱，Fain S. Duenas，乐团的主脑，负责演奏打击乐器和弦乐器。

他们的音乐取材广泛，从西班牙Castillian、安大露西亚甚至日本的传统音乐都可以成为他们音乐灵感的一部分。他们还与来自世界各地有着不同职业及音乐背景的音乐家合作，包括Flamenco，爵士，摇滚、阿拉伯音乐、古典音乐等等，他们运用不同的声音和乐器，从传统的地中海乐器Derbuka, el Ney 或者乌德琴到中古时期乐器：Cromorno、印度笛子或者现代的电贝司、电吉他，听着他们音乐的人们会很吃惊，因为在他们的音乐里可以发现那些似曾相似的声音和旋律。 oye china
